Here are some ways to ensure your dog is living life to the fullest. Every breed of dog is different and manging their needs will help them life happy and healthy lives.
Different breeds have different exercise needs, our pet vet team can advise you about your breed’s recommended exercise requirements. Dogs love a good sniff, so it’s important for their enrichment to get them outside and allow time for sniffing. Toys are also a fantastic way to provide enrichment for your dog.
An annual health check is important to ensure your dog is up to date with all their vaccinations and boosters. This annual health check will also help identify any problems or concerns early.
Keeping your pet’s teeth and gums healthy is a vital part of ensuring they have a happy and healthy life. We recommend an annual dental check; this is quick and easy and can be carried out at their annual booster appointment.
Maintaining a healthy weight is vital for your pet’s health. Excess weight can put additional strain on their joints and organs. We can advise you on the optimal weight for your dog, pop into the clinic anytime for a weight check.
Give your dog good quality scientifically balanced pet food. If you are unsure what to feed, the team can advise you on what’s best for your dog.
At Summerhill Vets we understand that your cats’ needs are very different to dogs, so we approach cat visits with this in mind. To reduce stress for your cat’s visit, we allow them time to relax and get their bearings when they arrive. We ensure our consult rooms are cleaned with enzymatic cleaners to eliminate other pet odours, and we use pheromone diffusers to help keep your cat relaxed during their visit.
